or uneasy. A "shrill" voice is high, sharp and unpleasant. A "sibilant" voice has a hissing sound, like a snake. I said, "what is this, the burning bush? For God’s sake, I’m not Moses," and the voice said to me "And I’m not God, what does that have to do with it?" "The Burning Bush" is a story in the Bible in which Moses speaks to God, whose voice comes out of the bush. "Because you’re on television, dummy." A gentle insult word for someone who is not too smart. For pete’s sake, I’m not asking you to walk……….preaching the Armageddon. "For pete’s sake" is a common way to start a sentence when you want to show irritation or impatience. "The Armageddon" is the story in the bible in which the forces of good and evil fight as the world ends. I think you’re having a breakdown and require treatment. Short for a psychological breakdown, in which people lose control of their emotional stability. I feel vivid and flashing, as if I’ve been plugged into some great electromagnetic field. Both words mean vibrant and filled with energy. The "great electromagnetic field" could be nature, or the entire universe. I’ve never felt more orderly in my life; It’s a shattering and beautiful sensation. In this case, "orderly" means calm and organized. If something is "shattering," it is explosive or violent, though here, Howard means it in a very positive way. It is the exalted flow of the space-time continuum, save it is spaceless and timeless. The words of a crazy person, or perhaps someone on illegal drugs. "Exalted" means worthy of great praise, and "a flow" is simply the movement of liquid, such as a stream. The "space-time continuum" is a concept made famous by Einstein, in which space and time intersect. I feel on the verge of some great ultimate truth. To be "on the verge of" something is to be extremely close to it (though usually one is on the verge of doing something). The son of a bitch is a hit. The response is sensational. "Son of a bitch" is a crude but common term for a mean or unpleasant man, though it is often used, as here, to refer to people in general. If a person is a "hit," they have become very popular with the public. That crazy son of a bitch Beale has caught on! If a person "catches on" with the public, they become very popular. All you grave robbers think about is that he is a hit. A "grave robber" is a person who steals bodies from a cemetery, or more generally, any immoral person willing to exploit others. Howard Beale obviously fills a void. A "void" is an empty space, and here, it refers to spiritual emptiness. It looks like he may go over bigger than Mary Tyler Moore! "To go over bigger" than somebody else is to become more popular than they are (Mary Tyler Moore was a much loved TV star of the 70s). If you want me ou
